I googled TN law & saw both charges as misdemeanors. Perhaps the vehicle is considered a weapon.

it goes on to say...
"however, as the investigation continued, Marcuzoo was later taken into custody Saturday night and given different charges. As of Sunday, officials say he has been released."

(57,073 posts)6. It is confusing.
I'll keep an eye on it & report back.
I could see them pleading it down to blowing a stop sign.
